Default The King\'s debut...

...Felix Hernandez. First teenage pitcher to start a game since Todd Van Poppel. 5 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks, 4 k's. He'll probably blow his arm out soon but its still something for M's fans to look forward to.

some other teenagers

He settled down after the first. In the first, he loaded the bases with no outs, gave up a run scoring single, but then got a 3-2-3 dp and a K to get out of the inning with only 1 run. He looked good.

Saw him pitch last night, he was awesome. 8 innings, 5 hits, no walks, 6 k's in only 94 pitches. In the post game interview someone asked Ron Gardenhire about Felix's poise. He said "poise? he throws 97 with a devastating curve"

Watching him pitch actually gave me goosebumps. Hopefully Bryan Price doesn't find a way to [censored] him up like Pineiro, Meche, Soriano, etc.

Bryan Price will be fired after the end of this season. In fact, I can't think of one reason to keep him.

Their problems are much deeper than just the pitching coach though. They have a fundemental problem in developing young arms, which points to the minor league system and medical team. Really pisses me off, the more I think about it.

as a twins fan i can say he is the going to be the best young pitcher in the league the rest of the season until we bring up franscico liriano. and then it will be a toss up. but he was amazing last night. made our guys look stupid and he had this cocky arrogance i'd love to see on my team.

I think he will pitch Monday. They have an off day, so Hargrove will probably give everyone in the rotation an extra day of rest.
